How Does This Sound?

This describes the short stories I've gathered (written) to make my [hopefully] first book.

"Whether it is physical violence (Another Day, Tired Lovers) or violent emotions (Withered Flowers, The Lie), the characters contained within Preoccupation With Violence have to deal with difficult circumstances, also known as life.  A man drives a car through a front window.  A woman comforts her grieving child.  A girl fights against an abusive parent.  A young woman contemplates ending her life.  Whether physical or emotional, the characters in Preoccupation With Violence are shaken.  They are stunned, punched, drunk and crying."

Ack!!
